Large bone defects resulting from fractures and disease are a major clinical challenge, being often unable to heal spontaneously by the body's repair mechanisms. Lines of evidence have shown that hypoxia-induced overproduction ROS in defect region has impact on delaying regeneration. However, replenishing excess oxygen short time cause high tension affect activity osteoblast precursor cells. Therefore, reasonably restoring hypoxic condition microenvironment is essential for facilitating...
